- An American television actress, Lynda Day George first drew attention when she appeared in the popular TV series Mission: Impossible (1966) as Lisa Casey, a role for which she received a Golden Globe nomination. She also did numerous guest-star roles in such series as The Love Boat (1977) and Wonder Woman (1975).
While appearing in the feature The Gentle Rain (1966), she met Christopher George, the handsome lead actor of the popular war series The Rat Patrol (1966); they fell in love about three years later, when they were reunited in the John Wayne western Chisum (1970), and they were married after its release. During the 1970s, Lynda appeared in numerous films with her husband. In 1983, she and Chris co-starred in the horror film Mortuary (1982). Sadly, after its completion, Christopher George died of a heart attack, at age 54.
Lynda was devastated and felt that she couldn't act without him. She appeared in another film shortly after his death, called Young Warriors (1983), but after appearing as a guest star in a few TV series, Lynda gave up acting.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Anonymous

- I am the common man. I am the common man. And the common man is me. When you start thinking you're great, when you start thinking you're bigger and better than anybody else, that's when your integrity falls by the wayside. I find that offensive. I find it repulsive when people think they're bigger and better than the truth.
- Somehow or other in this country of ours, we need to, just as citizens, we need to be able to divorce ourselves from our political affiliation, and our need to follow the party line, because therein is the destruction of our individuality. When we are so immersed in that system, that we're unable to make rational decisions or to look at a situation that is ultimately and obviously a beneficial situation, and not be able to agree with it simply because it is proposed by a person of a different party... that's beyond belief for me. It's just completely outside any kind of rational thinking as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't make sense. Unfortunately, I don't believe that we're smart enough to be able to operate in a situation like that.
- I never kidded myself about what I did as an actress. I never pretended that what I was doing was some great art form. When you start thinking you're great, that's when your integrity goes by the wayside. That's when you lose touch with the common folk. Well, when you lose touch with the common folk, when you start thinking that you're bigger and better than them, that's when you lose touch with reality. I could never think that way. As far as I'm concerned, I am the common folk. I am the common man, and the common man is me.
- Having a Broadway credit is nice, but when you get right down to it, it's just another play. It's just a play. It's just entertainment. In the big picture, is this play, is any play, is any movie or TV show, really all that important?
- Television ratings? I think they're kind of pointless. Are we talking about something we can have with meals, or are we talking about something... what is this? I'm not sure I understand that at all. Seems like a wasted gesture unless they're planning on putting on a lot of nudity. Which is probably what they're planning. I mean, God, let's show some more boobs. Geez! Just what we need. I mean it's incredible. It's really amazing. So, I don't think very much of TV ratings. I haven't had any cause to so far. I don't know if they actually mean anything to anyone.
